Funny you mention that—I have an adult friend who attended in the late 90s and she is very much that vibe, so I was expecting more of that when I visited with my daughter and was kind of disappointed not to have that takeaway AT ALL. Like it actually made me wonder if there are there any conservative Christians left in Virginia. (Not a snarky question and I know other DCUMers will be thrilled if they are a dying breed but I’m just curious)
